"We are concerned that the sheer size of this raid is likely to result in numerous violations of the U.S. Constitution, which protects the due process rights of all persons in this country."

The Constitution protects Americans....not ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!
If the are here illegally, what is there to process?
Load them back up in the back of semi and send them back across the border or into a cargo hold and ship them back home.
Fine the company for hiring them.
It is no wonder we have high unemployment.
SEND ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HOME!!

[Nuff Said]

Well said, Keep these raids coming. Surprised nobody commented yet on defending ILLEGAL immigrants that are using STOLEN ss numbers & peoples ID of hard working LEGAL citizens!!

[illegals are criminals]

Identity theft is a crime and illegals are doing it all the time!

Round them up and move them out!

Feds: Car washes hired illegal aliens
By BEN FINLEY
The Intelligencer
Five managers of area car washes owned by the Horsham-based Car Care Inc. are accused of knowingly employing illegal immigrants and providing stolen identities for them.
None of the car washes are in Bucks County.
Timothy Gibson, 36, of Thornridge Drive in Falls, one of the managers, faces up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release if convicted, officials said.
Gibson was the manager of the Super Bright Car Wash on East Germantown Pike in Norristown in 2005 and 2006, when 90 percent of its workers were found to be illegal immigrants, according to the federal indictment.
The managers employed the illegal immigrants under the names and identities of former, legitimate employees. Each stolen identity, including a Social Security number, was assigned to several illegal immigrants over time, so the managers wouldn't have to file termination papers when the workers quit, according to court documents.
The illegal immigrants were paid minimum wage or better, officials said. The stolen identities allowed the immigrants to cash or deposit their checks at local banks.
The illegal workers' wages were filed with the Internal Revenue Service under the stolen names, which will likely have some tax implications for the former, legal car wash employees, U.S. Attorney Patrick L. Meehan said Thursday at a press conference in Philadelphia.

They have to keep these raids coming. I keep telling them about the illegals picked up at the Haul Over Beach parking lots and bused to construction jobs in Sunny Isles and Bal Harbor. One person's businesses I would like to see raided is Donald Trumps. His construction sites are full of illegals as well as his already built properties. In fact an illegal Mexican showed up to the DMV office and had a Mexican marticula card and demanded a driver's license because he works for Donald Trump and needs to be able to drive. I wish I could have video taped this as it was rather funny.
